WEBVTT EARTH TODAY BRINGING WITH IT A BIG GEO-MAGNETIC JOLT. THAT JOLT COULD POTENTIALLY AFFECT POWER GRIDS AND GPS TRACKING. SCIENTISTS SAY TWO BLASTS OF MAGNETIC PLASMA LEFT THE SUN ON SUNDAY AND ARRIVED ON EARTH TODAY, MUCH EARLIER AND STRONGER THAN EXPECTED. SO FAR NO DAMAGE HAS BEEN REPORTED. ANOTHER SIDE EFFECT IS, THE NORTHERN LIGHTS ARE BEING SEEN IN MANY AREAS WHERE THEY WOULD NORMALLY NOT BE SEEN. THE POTENTIAL IS OUT THERE TO THE DOZEN IOWA -- OUT THERE TO SEE THOSE IN IOWA BUT THERE IS ONE PROBLEM. JOHN: WE ARE LOOKING OF AN AREA IN NORTHERN MINNESOTA WITH THE HIGHEST PROBABILITY. A DECENT SHOW IS POSSIBLE IN NORTHERN IOWA BUT THE PROBLEM HAS BEEN CLOUD COVER. WATCHING THE SOCIAL MEDIA REPORTS, THE ACTIVITY HAS BEEN WEAKENING. AROUND 9:00 TONIGHT, PEOPLE WERE ABLE TO SEE A GREEN GLOW. LAKE PANORAMA IS NOW WIDE OPEN. THOSE FINAL CHUNKS OF ICE ARE FLOATING AROUND IN THE WIND TODAY AND IT WON'T BE LONG UNTIL FISHING AND BOATING SEASON IS UNDERWAY. TEMPERATURES FALL INTO THE LOW 40'S WITH VERY DRY AIR. DEW POINT IS 17 DEGREES. HERE IS THE WAY YOUR MORNING WILL SHAPE UP. WE WILL START CHILLY IN THE UPPER 20'S. CLIMB INTO THE LOW 40'S BY 11 A.M. AND AFTERNOON TEMPERATURES CLIMBING INTO THE LOW 50'S. CLOUD COVER IS THE BIG PROBLEM WITH THE AURORA TONIGHT. IF YOU ARE IN NORTHEAST MINNESOTA OR SOUTHERN CANADA, GREAT VIEWING. EARLIER TONIGHT THE NEW ENGLAND STATES GOT REPORTS OF THE AURORA THERE. IOWA IS SHROUDED IN CLOUD COVER AND IT DON'T LOOKS LIKE -- AND IT DOESN'T LOOK LIKE THAT WILL IMPROVE VERY MUCH. EARLIER TODAY, A LOT OF BREEZE. THAT WIND HAS NOW BACKED DOWN BECAUSE HIGH PRESSURE IS RIGHT OVER THE TOP OF US PROVIDING A LIGHT SOUTH-SOUTHEASTERLY FLOW OF WIND TOMORROW. IT WILL BE A QUIET DAY. YOU WON'T HAVE TO FACE THE STIFF BREEZE AS YOU DID THIS MORNING. LOW-PRESSURE TO THE WEST WILL BRING SOUTHERLY WINDS AND SLIGHTLY WARMER TEMPERATURES INTO THURSDAY AND FRIDAY WITH A LITTLE BIT OF CLOUD COVER FROM TIME TO TIME. WE NOT THOSE TEMPERATURES DOWN A COUPLE OF DEGREES OR THE OVERNIGHT. -- DEGREES FOR THE OVERNIGHT. TOMORROW LOOK FOR HIGHS THE LOW 50'S FOR THE METRO AREA TO THE WEST AND SOUTH. UPPER 40'S AT POINTS TO THE NORTHEAST. TONIGHT, CLOUDS CONTINUE TO MOVE ACROSS THE STATE. TOMORROW, WINDS BECOME SOUTHEAST DURING THE DAY WITH A HIGH AROUND 52 DEGREES. HEADING INTO THE WEEKEND, MAINLY DRY FORECAST. MORE CLOUDS ON THURSDAY. WE WILL LOOK FOR ANY CHANCES OF SPRINKLES ON THURSDAY AND THEN WARMER ON FRIDAY. SATURDAY AND SUNDAY, TEMPERATURES VERY SEASONAL.
